All 3 PS4 versions of the The Witcher 3 selling above any Xbox One version. Looks like that marketing deal is really paying off for Microsoft ;)

It wt was no shock too anyone and MS knew this, but inmagine how low it would had been had there not been any marketing for it on x1, it would had been FF Type-0 levels

Monthly rankings are now:

PS4 TLoU bundle: #18
XBO ACU bundle: #22
XBO MCC bundle: #41
Wii U: #67
PS4 Batman bundle: #78

For some reason, the regular PS4 SKU is not showing up any more in the monthlies despite never leaving the Top 100 in the hourlies. Here's the current hourly rankings:

PS4 TLoU bundle: #24
XBO ACU bundle: #41
XBO MCC bundle: #46
PS4 Standard: #53
Wii U: #68

 

Seems pretty stagnant.

 

 

Hey Shadow! How did you get the monthly numbers? I just want to know how to obtain them. Much appreciated in advance!

Even though the hardware seems to bounce around a lot when they are outside the top 20 it looks very wrong for the naked PS4 at $399 to be ahead of the MCC Xb one at $350 at any time in the hourlies. I imagine that in the monthly wash up MCC will stay ahead because more often than not MCC will be ahead in the hourly chart.In fact I can;t see the naked PS4 in the top 100 on the monthly chart. But perhaps it will appear somewhere in there at the next update.

The TLOU bundle seems to be maintaining a gap with AC, and MCC seems to be further adrift, making it a bit harder to predict Xb one winning May. But I think unless the naked PS4 gets into the top 50 by the end of the month then 2 Xb one skus in the top 50 and only one PS4 sku will probably indicate a Xb one NPD win again in May.

The Witcher 3 is clearly doing better on PS4 than Xb one on amazon, but I think NPD will show the revers and TW3 will sell most on Xb one. Amazon is bad for software prediction.

I dont really think the witcher 3 will do better on x1. It dosent matter if MS has advertising rights, its not the type of game that really does amazing on a xbox.

I think we've seen in the past situations where the PS4 version of a game is higher in the charts than the Xb one version, but NPD comes out the opposite. Also while action RPGs might be more favoured as a genre on PS4 than Xb one it should be remembered that in this case The Witcher 2 was on 360 and not on PS3, which means the Xbox fanbase has been exposed to this franchise before while the PS fanbase has not. Unless there has been a substantial shift ot 360 Witcher 2 fans across to PS4 it is possible that Xb one will have the higher selling version. The only comparable game at the moment on current gen consoles is Dragon Age: Inquisition. But that franchise has been on both platforms from the beginning.

PS4 sales out again on Amazon.



I think the reason this thread is pretty dead this month is because there are no vgc sales data to compare with and looks like we won't be seeing another week again

The fact that VGC has no data for April and its almost June is really troubling...
